The Estonian Dragon Boat Federation invites paddlers to join them at theTallinn Cup 17-19 September 2015 in the beautiful city of Tallinn. See theinvitation form and attachments for more information.www.edbf.org

Boat hire fee cancelled for ECCC. Thanks to a generous offer by the IDBF and Peisheng Boats, no team will need to take their own boat and a new boat pool will be available at the races. Some of these boats will be donated to new countries to enable them to develop the sport among their athletes so the EDBF is asking for a 10 euro pp contribution towards helping transport these boats to their destinations. More details will be coming in Bulletin 3.

Boats for sale at 16th ECCC. Some of the boats provided in a special partnership between the IDBF and Peisheng Boats will be offered for sale at a good discount. Limited numbers of both standard 1222 and small 912 HP boats will be available. See www.edbf.org for the flyers and details.

Pending interest there may be a dragon boat coach training workshop held in Cyprus 3-5 July (more details forthcoming). If there is enough interest, another db coach workshop may be held coinciding with the 16th EDBF ECCC in Divonne les Bains (30 July-3 August 2015).
If you or dragon boat coaches in your country are interested in either of the possible workshops, would you put a comment below and state which date you prefer. Comments due by 15 June.CommentLike

Question re drummer's age in ECCC: CR 2.1.5 allows for an exception of the drummer's age and I do believe it could be younger than over 40 in Senior A,B,C races. How old should she/he be on the 1st of June 2015?

CR 2.1.5 Senior Class - Races can be held for Mixed or Single gender crews or in Open Competition, as shown above, with the exception of the Drummer, all competitors must be aged 40 or over, on the 1st June, in a given year.CommentLike
